- Gerry Spence, Esq. presentation to Georgia Trial Lawyers Association in 1988.
Spence holds an audience of 500 trial lawyers to total attention of every word as he tells his feelings of trying a case before a Jury. He explains fear and how he is afraid, and the Judge is afraid, and most of all the Jury is afraid. Everyone in the court room is in fear that they may not do their job right, and the Plaintiff or Defendant is also in fear that they may lose. They have put all of their trust and hopes in their lawyer... who is afraid! It is an intense speech as only Spence can do. You will learn and become a better person in the court room with this gift from Spence.
I MET MR. SPENCE when he visited MY LAW SCHOOL in Arizona. He influenced me greatly with one piece of advice I never forgot. He said when you get in front of a jury, TELL THE STORY.
He said great trial attorneys are great storytellers. Don't bore the jury. Tell them the story and make sure it's interesting.If you make it interesting, they'll listen to you.
He was right.
Hard to believe there are only 30 views here when this can change someone's life and career in law
That’s only a problem if you’re concerned about what other people think. Which clearly you are.
@@coimbralawgod forbid. May put him in touch with his humanity.
Only 30 views a year ago; 9.9 thousand today; something changed!
My grandfather came from a military family who were judges, attorneys in the 1800’s early 1900’s and my son is one too. I’ve always regarded Gerry Spence as the nobleman and a legal eagle of the legal profession.
With so many odious money grabbing lawyers around, Mr Spence is like a beacon of light.
George Pearl you have no idea how much I appreciate this video. Jerry was my hero since I graduated law school in 1980 and went to his trial college in 1983 at U of Wyoming. This video is classic Jerry Spence. Thank you. Blessings, jd stauffer jr
Thanks for sharing, love from 🇰🇪 Kenya ❤
Most insightful. Thank you.
Thank you for adding this video to the internet. Aussie from Down Under here - I cannot think of one lawyer here of Mr Spence's calibre.
This was just brilliant!
What an absolutely incredible patriot we were blessed to have operate in this country for the common man. Just a blessed man!
Legendary
I watch this frequently. A lawyer who doesn’t is missing something.
In 1983 I went to his trial college. I had started my solo practice in 1980 and didn’t know anything. He changed my life forever and I never lost a jury trial after that. I followed his advice religiously. Before his trial college I was absolutely clueless. I will be forever indebted to him and the person who uploaded this pearl of wisdom. It’s vintage Jerry Spence.
Mr Spence seems to appeal to jury members on an empathetic level. I can see why, with so many prejudices each of us seem to have, he may have found a way to cut through those prejudices.
im surprised he never went into politics.
I would love to meet Mr. Spence, and talk with him about the JFK Assassination. I'm here in Dubois, WY, until September, but it's doubtful he would even see me, a nobody.
Hes a great speaker but not a legal mind. He wins trials on emotional ploys not the rule of law.
Your comment has the appearance of envy.
Agree!! Like Coackren
Why would he need to use that language????
You’re so close to getting it
im glad youve exposed one of the fundamental flaws of the justice system and one who has used that flaw to his advantage...
Mr Spence, if you were ten points higher than you are, there would be every temptation for you to join mensa to fritter the day on puzzles.
Mr. Spence were you born with "ten points higher" you might be a specialty scientist, an astronaut, or perhaps the clergy.
Mr. Spence were you born thus, with the natural inquisitiveness you were born with , the irritability with the status quo, when that is found , in your estimation, to be lacking, and the natural ambition of one accustomed to success, it may have gone not-well for you.
To be an irritable surgeon or astro physics scientist, or a space shuttle driver or whatever really smart people do (hint, many do nothing but play with their info - processers), would perhaps have landed you in greater discomfort than the discomfort of knowing you were born with less but of a greater quality of that less than pure brilliance, and when the scales are balanced you may have found that you have done more.
In the final balance, it is the seeking of virtue; the pursuit of the heart that knows good from the result of an action; that make the man.
Mr. Spence, have you been that man?
I can attest he has not. I met him at the young age of 18. I was fresh out of high school NCHS in Casper Wy. My dad was a special education teacher. My mother a home maker -- salt of the earth people. I was chosen Homecoming Queen of 1973. I was a straight A student. I sang in the church choir. I was a record breaking athlete & starred in theatre productions. I was a cheerleader beginning in Jr. high all through high school. Growing up in the first 12 years of my life was in a small town in Kansas-200 people. Church & the goodness of man was instilled deeply in my morality in that tiny world where fear wasn't a thought nor hate or assault on an innocent-- certainly not a home town girl who trusted people from the community she grew up in. I was hired by an attorney. He assured my dad that he would protect his daughter. From there I was put into the line of fire involving Gerry Spence without any sense of dignity for me & my family & everything good & proper. I suffered in silence as despicable abuse proceeded to assault my life for a year...I need help to tell my story. It's time to stand up for an injustice of a young girl against the powerful lawyers who espouse their love & championing the little people...
@@michellejulene3125 hold on....are you saying gerry spence isnt the man he says he is, publicly? i, for one, would like to hear more.
@@gppizza8979 absolutely
@@michellejulene3125 please. continue. i think truths, no matter how uncomfortable they may be, need to be heard. sacred cows cannot be sacred if they hide the truth.
@gppizza8979 don't know if this is the place for that...
A men
He should have been an actor, but a very bad one.
He curses too much
Some say he doesn't curse enough. 😉

Its sad that people find someone like him entertaining and persuasive. Ultimately he argues for rule by emotion at trial not applying the law to the facts.
I think it's less that and more his ability to engage the jury in the nuance of delivering justice from a human perspective rather than a robotic delivery based on strict letter interpretation. Each case is unique and has context, and clearly he has the skills needed to get people to consider the weight of their decisions in shaping the world around them. I don't blame him for doing his job, the responsibility ultimately lies with the jury IMO. @@thunderthumbz3293
